Enantiomeric ratio

Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-003864

The ratio of the amounts of two enantiomers present in a mixture. This ratio can be expressed as a simple fraction or percentage, for example, 90:10 or 90% of one enantiomer and 10% of the other. It is a direct measure of the enantiomeric composition of a sample.
